for extensions, wires, and for insulated
wire with view OF getting wires OFF

THE RULEING PASSION.
Prefcrring to Kill Bills Instead of Sign
ing Them.

Ing Them.
WAsHINGroN, ID. c., March 9.-Mr.
O'Neill, of Missouri, chairman of the
committee on labor, called upon the
president to-day and asked BIN con-
cerning the arbitration bill and bill
prohibiting employment of alien labor
and the use of products of convict
labor on public works, both OF which
bills he failed to sign. The presi-
dent said with reference to the arbi-
tration bill that he was strongly i'll
favor of legislation upon the subject,
but did not think the bill submitted
was sufficient. The bill first pre-
sented by Mr.. O'Neill and submitted
to the president before introduction,
contained provisions which connected
the government with legislation
such as the provision for
filing IL award with
the clerk OF the United States court
and giving to an award the form and
effect OF Judgment. The absence OF
provisions connecting the government
with legislation caused the president
to withhold his signature. "The
measure" he said, chad been submit
ted to the encouragement, who did
not approve of it," Mr.. O'Neill eX-
planned the difficulties attending the
preparation OF bill of this character
and suggested that the attorney-gen-
eral would find great difficulty him
self in preparing any measure that
could pass, having on it any features
of compulsory arbitration. ONeill
stated that he would confer with the
encouragement, with ~ view of pre-
pairing bill for the next congress in
harmony with the presidents views.
Concerning the convict alien
bill, the president said he
thought that the bill was
rather confused and that it could bet
ter be treated in separate bills. He
expressed his earnest desire to aid Ia
Dor legislation, and the result OF the
interview will be, Mr.. O'Neill says, the
preparation of a carefully prepared bill
for next congress. Mr.. O'Neill states
that the above measures do not conf
prise all the labor record of the 18th
congress, as the following measures
were passed and signed by the presi-
dent: Prohibiting importation OF
contract labor and remedying detects
of prior legislation on that subject
prohibiting hiring out or leasing OF
government prisoners, and legalizing
national corporation OF trades unions.

Involving Thousands of Acres Settled nj
| Pnrkersburg.
A famous land case directly involving
$4,000 acres Of land in Webster county,
and indirectly determining the title Of
nearly a million acres in Pocahontas,
Greenbrier snd other counties adjoining
! Webster, WIS decided in tho United States
Court ut Parkersburg on Tuesday Of this
week. The case was that Of the Caperton
heirs against Rich and others. The mil.
lion acres in question, OF which the Web
ater county tract was part, WAS dropped
forty years ago from the Commissioner S
bookB on account Of delinquent taxes,
John 3. Shroves, Of Upshur county,
formed schem0 to have the land re-er.
ter6d, advertised for ssle, and then bought
lit in fos himself and q syndicate. This
waa in the sixties. Rich, the defendant,
and others have been living on the Web
ster county tTsc. since then. In 1875 3
man named Caperton, tho legal owner OF
the land, died, and his heirs brought suit,
which hes just ended in their recovering
the land watch they were defrsuded out
Of Tor years. Other suits are to be brought
at once for the remaining tracts. The
land ia most valusble, being heavily tim
bered, and is in u part Of the State now
being developed. Tho court said the Sec
ond entry was Illegally made and could
not have been done without some con-
nivance on the part of State officers.

ing every foot Of space on field formerly
a part OF the Handlan estate. The com.
pany claims that this additional switch

that in tho course Of tho season large
shipments Of fruits and vogeta.
bles for immediate delivery are re.
coiyed by the green grocers and whole.
safe commission merchants OF this city
from Baltimore as fast freight. The stuiI
being perishRble, immediate delivery ia
important. With the facilities at hand
heretofore II has been very difficult to
handle such freight properly. Trains
were run up into tho Company's yards
along the river front, and there damned

assigned by othor people. The field upon
which these tracks are laid WAS some time
ago donated to the Baltimore & Ohio COM

soon as practicable, erect thereon
railroad shops. This 10 the claim OF

SCIINELLE INSANE.
DIR. g. scnucuAnDT's MURDERER
To be Transferred from the Pen,tentinry at

sane ut Weston-lTwo Suicidal At.
tempts made ut tho Prison.

The Commission de lunatico inquirendo
ordered to inquire and report as to the
sanity OF Guenther Schnelle. confined In
the Penitcntiary at MoundHyille on the
charge Of killing Dr.. g. Schuchardt In this
city in March 'S9, met at the prison and
made thorough examination, examining
tho officers Of the Psnitentiary and also
several medical gentlemen OF this city
both as experts and as having knowledge
Of this special case. It will DO remember
ed that at the time Of tho murder schnelle
shot himself in tho head, and he acted In
so peculiar manner throughout bis con
tlnement here as to cause a very general
impression that he was crazy. The defense
got up In his case wss insanity,
the killing having been unquestionably a
deliberate and cold.blooded murder. I'm
der the evidence, 1t was held at the Time
that tho only possible verdict was guilty
OF murder In the first degree or not guilty.
The jury, however, on the uecond trial
after he had been oncc pronounced guilty
OF murder In the fret degree and sen.
fenced 10 imprisonment in the peniten
t,ary Tor lie, returned q verdict on the
same evidence OF voluntary manslaughtsr,
and he got ton years. .lsz.'
On the examination into his sanity held
ut MoundHviiie, 1t was developed from
tho testimony OF the priaon officials that
schnelle had recently hanged himself
twice., and once narrowly escaped SUCCESS
In killing himself. His general conduct,
too, was pronounced that Of an insane
person. The medical testimony was all
In the same direction. !.
Tho Commission.a accordingly pronounced
tho prisoner insane. Tho formal publ
cation Of the decipion was postponed
however, until such time as word is re-
ceived from Weston that there Is room te
receive him as patient Of the State Hos
pitat for the Insane. He will then DO for.
mally declared lunatic, and tranulcrred
to the Asylum. .T
Col. Arnelt, who defended Schnelle OF
his two trials, was firmly persuaded thai
his client was Of unsound mind and cugh
not to DO confnd Gs a convict. He hal
therefore followed the case, though for {
long time 1t seemed fo1lorn hope, to thil
